Food Anonymous is a small organization that only appearance once in 'The Flintstones episode Fred Flintstone: Before and After.
Background[]
When Fred is unable to resist his urge to overeating (and blow his chances of winning $1,000 by losing 25 lbs.) Barney suggested Food Anonymous, revealing them to be a small organization of guys who helped out other members from overeating. They make their first physical appearance when Fred became a member, where the Head of Food Anonymous introduced the others to Fred and informs Fred that they will make sure that Fred doesn't overeat, even telling him that they will know they are here to help just by hearing the phrase ""Goink, goink, goink."
After Fred begins to break down and begged Al (who promised Wilma not to give Fred any food) for a burger, the Food Anonymous leader came and stole his burger, followed by going "Goink, goink, goink", which resulted in Fred to lose his mind and deciding to go to war and will do anything to get food, even if it means losing $1,000. During a meeting, the Food Anonymous leader revealed that while Fred is more difficult to control then the other members, they are still winning and preventing him from overeating.
In a short montage, Fred (now completely out of his mind) started to obtain food to eat, only for the Food Anonymous leader to appear and prevent him from eating.
Later after Fred manage to lose 25 lbs. and win the $1,000, he called in Food Anonymous and announced his resignation to the group, even admitting that he's a weakling and that he NEEDS food. Unfortunately for Fred, his resignment fell in deaf's ears as the Food Anonymous leader came and stole his food, with Fred chasing him as he tried to explain that he resigned and told him to call the office but the leader refuse to listen.
It is assumed that Fred's resignment finally was heard and Food Anonymous left him alone.
